My family and I moved to the Puget Sound area about a year ago from the California Bay Area. Still, I would camp out here again in a heart beat, and I'm sure the kids won't waste any time asking to go back. If you have a barky territorial dog you might want to choose a more secluded camp ground, because people will be walking by all night. I got fed up and asked them to tether the dog, but I heard them whispering about releasing him a little while later, and the "sit, Trigger, sit!" continued. Our neighbors had a dog which they did not secure at the back of the campground (per the park rules) who would bark every time someone walked by to use the bathroom, followed by lots of "sit, Trigger, sit! Get over here, Trigger!" etc. The spot we had reserved turned out to be a postage stamp, but fortunately we were there on a week night and didn't have a problem changing our reservation. The camp sites are convenient and the bathroom facilities are decent, but be prepared to hear your neighbors and make sure you get a site that will be big enough for your tent. At high tide, this beach becomes absolutely covered in seaweed and silt, so you will want to time your trip accordingly. If you're coming to camp, plan to drive down to the beach (because the walk back up is long, especially after a fun day at the beach) at low tide and stay until the tide starts creeping up on the beach. At low tide, the beach seems to stretch forever and the children can wade out very far and still only be in water up to their wastes. Dash Point is our favorite local beach, and such a convenient place for a quick camp out with the kids.
